Recorded in the very building for which many of these pieces were written, this disc opens with the famous coronation anthem I was glad, heard here in a brand new arrangement by Grayston Ives. The disc also includes a rousing rendition of Jerusalem and new brass arrangements of Hear my words, ye people and the Coronation Te Deum, as well as Blest pair of sirens–Parry's setting of Milton's ode At a Solemn Music, famously sung by the Abbey Choir at the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
